Jackass star Steve-O has shared on why he changed his mind on getting breast implants, which he first announced in July was part of a series of planned pranks.

The stunt would have involved Steve-O getting his "whole body waxed", with all his tattoos removed via airbrush, and losing weight to "get really slender and petite". Steve-O would then attend a motorcycle rally attempting to capture "big gangs of motorcycle riders" checking him out before he reveals his real identity. "I would walk up to pull off my helmet and say, 'Yeah, dude,' and get this crazy reaction, which, predictably, would be contentious," he shares.

It was this part of the plan that the person Steve-O spoke with found troubling – as the act of deliberately tricking men into thinking he's a woman was planned so he could get footage of being "beaten up at the motorcycle rally", which he previously explained in July is part of doing a "funny endurance" stunt.

“The show still has a bunch of really good comedy from that whole episode. And the extent to which I was prepared to go through with that is hilarious in its own right.”

No, it's not. It's fucking unhinged, jackass.

Never ceases to amaze me though that Steve-O, of all people in that group, turned out to be the most grounded.

I don't know if any of the others would even care to ask or listen to the trans worker at a grocery store.

I came here to say something similar stevo destroyed himself with drugs and the various stunts they did if I can give anybody a pass on not being great on some issues it's him. In the same vein the fact that he did decide against it goes to show there is humanity inside him.

I understand that it's a bit of apologia but seriously the guy's been through a lot

OTOH we wouldn't get this masterpiece if Bam Margera hadn't spiralled down so hard [CW: some nudity, some homophobic language, it's just really weird and gross in general] : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eYBN62Kzlc
